1 ln the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon went and besieged Jerusalem; 2 and, as the Eternal allowed Jehoiakim king of Judah to fall into his hands with some of the vessels belonging to the house of God, he brought the captives into the land of Shinar and put the vessels into the treasury of his god. 3 The king told Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs to introduce into the palace some of the Israelites who belonged to the royal family and the nobility, 4 youths who had no bodily blemish, who were good-looking, intelligent in all branches of knowledge, adepts in learning, accomplished scholars, and competent to take their place in the king’s palace; they were to be taught the literature and the language of the Chaldeans. 5 The king assigned them a daily share of the delicacies he ate and of the wine he drank. For three years they were to be trained, and at the end of that period they were to attend upon the king.
6 Among these were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azarlah, from Judah. 7 These were renamed by the governor of the eunuchs; he called Daniel Belteshazzar, Hananiah Shadrak, Mishael Meshak, and Azariah Abednego. 8 Daniel, however, did not intend to be contaminated with the king’s food or with the wine he drank; so he asked the governor of the eunuchs that he might not contaminate himself. 9 Now God had made Daniel win favour and pity from the governor of the eunuchs. 10 So the governor of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “My lord the king has ordered your meat and drink, and I am afraid of his noticing that you are in poorer condition than the youths who are of your own age. You would make me risk my life with the king.” 11 But Daniel said to his guardian, whom the governor of the eunuchs had put in charge of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12 “Try your servants for ten days, I pray you. Let us have vegetables to eat and water to drink, 13 and then examine our condition and that of the youths who eat the king’s fare: see how we stand, and treat your servants accordingly.” 14 So he agreed to this request of theirs, and tried them for ten days. 15 At the end of ten days they did seem in better condition and stouter than all the youths who ate the king’s fare. 16 So the guardian took away their meat and the wine they were to drink, and let them have vegetables.
17 To these four youths God granted knowledge and skill in all literature and science, and Daniel especially became an adept in all the lore of visions and dreams. 18 So, at the end of the period fixed by the king for their introduction, when the governor of the eunuchs brought them into the presence of Nebuchadnezzar, 19 and the king con- versed with them, he found none of them like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. They became his personal attendants, 20 and on every point of science and knowledge about which the king put questions to them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in all his realm.
21 Daniel lived on into the first year of king Cyrus.
